I never really sit for very long. Well, long enough to write a blog post but sometimes I write them on my exercise bike or while I am standing in the kitchen. We had a fabulous busy few days with my cousin Shea and her family. My heart was heavy when they left. The last time I saw Shea she was blonde and I was a brunette and our dads were alive. Two years later, I am blonde and she is a brunette and our dads are not alive. I can’t tell you how much it helped me to talk to Shea and to…

Livin' the Dream

Posted on July 24, 2011 at 9:59am 2 Comments

Sometimes I forget that I am livin’ the dream.  When I get a call from my friend while I am making dinner before I rush out to take Eva to art telling me that Ethan has just squeezed an egg full of vinegar and yolk into his eye (don’t ask), it is easy to momentarily forget about the dream I am living.  I do get stressed out about all of the things I need to do or places I need to be and I forget that all of those things are ‘happy’ stressors.  I live a…

Julie, Delighted to have you in the novelist group. If you haven’t done so already, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion.

We do a live chat at 1 EST on the first Wednesdays of each month, with instructions on how to participate in the "Our Water Cooler" box near the top of the group page. And we save the wall for discussion, but welcome links to helpful blog posts on the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread and to published books in the “Our Published Novels” one.

I hope you’ll enjoy the group.

Meg Waite Clayton
Novelist Group Moderator
Author of The Wednesday Sisters (a nationally bestselling writing group novel) and the forthcoming The Wednesday Daughters (Random House/Ballantine)

Oh!! Well, maybe that explains why I am not seeing it on most of the She Writes blogs! Maybe WordPress doesn't have a follow me feature. I suppose you could go grab it from Google or whoever else does it, but it's interesting to me that you don't really need it to get people to read your stuff. Word of mouth?

You are welcome, and thank you for checking out my recipe blog!  Let me know if you try a recipe and how it turned out. I noticed you do not have a "follow me" gadget on either of your pages. I just posted a question about that. What made you decide to omit that? I am developing a new blog for my essays/thoughts and am wondering whether to include that. Thanks.

Julie, I am enjoying your blog so much, as well as the Perfect Moms blog you do in tandem with your friend. What a great idea!

Quotes, Memoirs, and Books on Writing I've Read to Avoid...Doing It

Working on my memoir, I've turned to many, many (many many, too many) books with tips on how to get started, organized, and inspired.  I also read a lot of what other authors say about the process and will share quotes here, as well.  I'll begin…See More
